Abstract
T.Y. Lin and T.C. Wu (1999) gave a (t, n)-threshold verifiable multisecret sharing scheme ((t, n)-VMSS) of the following kind. A secret dealer (SD) issues secret shares to each of n participants, and any more than t participants can cooperatively reconstruct the secrets. The purpose of this paper is to paint out that the claim made previously by the authors, that their scheme is secure against cheating by a participant, is false. Further, the cheater might also be the only one who obtains the secret
